USL Y Summer 2026

What is USL Y Soccer?

USL Y, formally known as Super Y, is a nationwide elite youth soccer league by the United Soccer League (USL) that runs during the summer to complement fall/spring seasons, offering high- level competition. GFR USL Y will field teams between U10-U16 in both genders.


Our USL-Y program is a fantastic way for players to stay sharp, build relationships with teammates, and compete at a high level — all before the fall season begins. Benefits include:


• High-level competitive play in a structured league environment
• Continued development and fitness over the summer months
• A great opportunity to bond with teammates before the fall season
